Answer:

The remainder is -1

The binomial is not a factor of the polynomial

Step-by-step explanation:

In the algebraic division, there are 4 terms

  1. Dividend ⇒ the term before the division sign
  2. Divisor ⇒ the term after the division sign
  3. Quotient ⇒ the answer
  4. Remainder ⇒ appear when the dividend not divisible by the divisor (the divisor is not a factor of the dividend)

<u><em>The remainder theorem:</em></u>

  • If you divide a polynomial f(x) by (x - h), then the remainder is f(h).
  • You do not need to use the long division to find the remainder, just evaluate the polynomial when x = h to find the remainder.
  • If h(h) = 0, then (x - h) is a factor of f(x)

Let us use it to solve the question

∵ The dividend is x² - 2

∴ f(x) = x² - 2

∵ The divisor is x - 1

∴ (x - h) = (x - 1)

∴ h = 1

Let us find f(1)

∵ f(1) = (1)² - 2 = 1 - 2 = -1

∴ f(1) = -1

∴ The remainder is -1

∵ f(1) ≠ 0

∴ x - 1 is not a factor of x² - 2

∴ The binomial is not a factor of the polynomial

What is the solutions to 0=x^2-x-6<br> two things <br> ,,quadratic equationz,,,
natita [175]

Answer:

x1=3. x2=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

x =  \frac{ - b +  -  \sqrt{b {}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}

b=-1

a=1

c=-6

x =  \frac{ - ( - 1) +  -  \sqrt{ {( - 1)}^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times ( - 6) } }{2 \times 1}

x =  \frac{1 +  -  \sqrt{1 + 24} }{2}

x =  \frac{1 + -   \sqrt{25} }{2}

x1 =  \frac{1 + 5}{2}

x2 =  \frac{1 - 5}{2}

x1=3

x2=-2

x =  \frac{1 +  - 5}{2}
